Israel Adesanya Reveals If He’ll Compete In Jiu-Jitsu: “I’ll Do It, But…”

Is Israel Adesanya interested in competing in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu match…
Would he be open to a submission grappling superfight?

Surprisingly enough, the answer is – yes!
However, several circumstances would need to fit properly first.

Adesanya revealed more in a recent “El Segundo” podcast episode with Craig Jones:

I’ll do it, but like, I’ll do it with the right person.
Not to try and win but it’s more to try and, like, to create a show – but also to generate a buzz.

Because, yeah, I might end up being a notch on someone’s belt.
But at the same time, it’s not about that, it’s more about just creating a moment.

Adesanya is currently a BJJ purple belt. And a very skilled one, too.
So how did he develop the skillset?

Well, the motivation to do so initially came – like it is the case for so many BJJ practitioners – from Joe Rogan:

My way was just through Joe Rogan for Jiu-Jitsu and then I fell in love with grappling.

I just felt a natural adaptability with grappling. I just knew.
I knew I was good at it and I was able to just grasp things very quickly and apply them.

Also, the long limbs helped, but also they make you prone to a lot of submissions if you don’t know how to deal with them.
